This is a spiritual practice. It has been given to Humanity so it might be able to respond to the growing planetary necessity for Human Unity and Cooperation. We are encouraged to undertake Steps to Knowledge. This site is a simple aid to introduce people to this practice. There is much more to learn for anyone who becomes a student. As a Steps student since June 27, 1999, I am a witness for its benefit. Tom Christoffel

Review - Learn how to learn. Learn about the process of learning. Step 91 - Steps to Knowledge: The Book of Inner Knowing ~ Spiritual Practices

Greetings All –

Review
- Learn how to learn. Learn about the process of learning. Step 91 (MP3) [Open in Drive or copy to your Drive – Download folder or play

OUR
REVIEW WILL ONCE AGAIN CONCENTRATE upon the instructions and your practices for
the past week. Give this time to re-experience what happened each and every day
and to see this from your current experience as well. Learn how to learn. Learn
about the process of learning. Do not use learning as a form of showmanship. Do
not use learning to try to prove your worth to yourself. You cannot prove your
worth. It is beyond your efforts to prove it. Your worth will demonstrate
itself when you allow it, which you are now learning to do. Practice to
practice. Some days will be easier. Some days will be harder. Some days you
will want to practice. Other days you may not want to practice. Each day you
practice because you are representing a Greater Will. This demonstrates
consistency, which is a demonstration of power. This demonstrates a greater
dedication. This gives you certainty and stability and allows you to deal
compassionately with all things of lesser strength.

OUR
LONG REVIEW TODAY will be an examination of your learning process. Remember not
to judge yourself so that you may learn.

If this is your first time seeing one of the “Steps to Knowledge”,
then welcome. There are 365 Steps, daily spiritual practices if one seeks to
complete them in a year, but that is not necessary. They can be used by people
of any religious tradition or no religious tradition. They will help one to
become mindful in the world.

The Step today is from the book: Steps to Knowledge: The Book of Inner Knowing. The practices were
brought to the world through Marshall Vian Summers, The Messenger for The New
Message From God. Important background for the Steps is in: “Greater Community Spirituality” and the “Wisdom Books - I and II”.
Hard copies are available from the New Knowledge Library Store. The
Society for the New Message from God also has a Free Book Project. If you need
the books now, PDF files can be found here: http://goo.gl/RJuuGP

Keeping a journal is recommended. If you have a Steps book,
write your reactions and comments, highlight or underline points that strike
you, and date the note. In this way, your Steps book can be a partial journal.

Using the PDF, you can print out pages as you need them, or use
the software to maintain a digital copy where you can enter notes and highlight
text that stands out.

Other modern methods of keeping a journal include having a
document on your PC or phone to keep notes. You could send yourself an email or
use the voice recorder function. It is important to capture insights and
reactions because it is by this means that you can understand change. Sometimes
it may just be a word or short phrase, an image or a scene.

To end this post I again offer the blessing: "May the
presence of the Teachers be with you." In the invocative language of
Knowledge this blessing is: "Nasi Novare Coram" (pronounced NAH-see
no-VAHR-ay co-RAHM)

The short form of Nasi Novare Coram used by students is NNC.

P.S. Often it takes 18 months to get through the Steps once. For
this blog, the pace is one-a-day, but it really makes no difference how fast
you do it, only that you begin, persist and repeat. Posts linked below provide
a trail that may let you have a virtual companion when and if you want one. One
may have to study alone, as I did in the beginning. There are other Steps
students blogging their experience and you might find a person more like you as
a companion, or use a number of such Steps journeys.

Doing Steps with only the texts, messages and your life
experience, including what you may have studied and practiced is your journey.
I’m showing Step comments after the Step, so as not to influence anyone in
advance. It is a wilderness trek to be left to your own wits, but then you can
also listen more closely for guides, angels and teachers, always first saying:
“I surround and protect myself with the Love and the Grace of God.” Thankfully,
I was taught this practice in 1989.
